feels weird

the weather, that is.  completely and heavily overcast as if it could rain any minute.  probably not unusual most places - just doesn't happen here in july.  so to have it look and feel 'dark', feels weird.
the class in scotts valley went well - 7 satisfied students.  i drove down and stayed with the shop owners on friday night.  here are a couple of the pictures i took of their lovely home - well, mostly of the beautiful surroundings.  didn't get such great shots of the house - i was too in love with the trees.  and the house was great, even tho i didn't get it from a good angle!  lots of big windows front and back - and a huge floor to ceiling rock fireplace on the back wall between the floor to ceiling windows.  in the big 'great room' - so when you walked in thru the door off that deck - fireplace to your right, kitchen to your left - and all the trees showing thru the windows!  just my style!!!
look at those trees!  and there are no houses closeby.  they have 18 acres and there are, she said, only 3 houses on the little tiny road - guess it's more like a comunal driveway, as it's behind a locked gate and only about as wide as a driveway.  about 10 miles out of town, and the roads just keep getting more narrow as you go there.














gotta love those trees.  this one is a little distorted cause my little box of a van looks so long here.  ^_^

love and beauty
